FULL STORY
======================================================================

Coffee isn't just a drink, it's a hobby, and there's virtually no limit to 
the number of tools and accessories available to help brew the perfect cup. 
Chosen carefully, the right ones can make a perfect gift, so I've put 
together this list of 12 that I'd be delighted to unwrap on Christmas Day as 
TechRadar's resident coffee expert. 

Before you make your choice, find out exactly what kind of coffee your home 
barista enjoys making. If they're into espresso then something like a rubber 
tamping mat will help protect their kitchen counters, and a knock box will 
make it easy for them to ditch used coffee grounds without making a giant 
mess. 

If they already own both of those, you can't go far wrong with good-quality 
tools for creating a perfect coffee puck. A WDT (Weiss Distribution 
Technique) tool uses fine needles to break up clumps and create an even bed 
of coffee ready for tamping. 

If they prefer filter coffee, and are rarely seen in the kitchen without 
their trusty V60 dripper (the one shaped like a cone) then a digital V60 
coffee scale would be a lovely gift, helping them get exactly the right 
amount of coffee and water every time. It would go perfectly with a V60 
coffee server , which will give them a stylish way to pour their finished 
brew. 

To help you make the right choice, each product in this guide is from a brand 
I trust and use in my own kitchen. They aren't necessarily the cheapest 
options around, but they should all give the coffee-lover in your life many 
years of happy brewing. Essential gifts for home baristas Normcore WDT Coffee
